gftChris Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I just bought a 'turban squash' because it looks cool. Any suggestions on recipes of anything like that, or what you'd do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 LOL. You guys are hilarious..... However, in a rare fit of seriousness...@@ I cook acorn squash by halving, or quartering them, cleaning out the seeds, then poking fork holes in the meat of the squash, add a very good salted butter and brown sugar, wrap in aluminum, and bake til soft - check em every so often. then scrape out the good stuff from the rind. Just don't put too much sugar in at first, you can adjust that later. Goes excellently with a nice slice of turkey or chicken. Crap, that reminds me, I haven't designed my future mobile chicken house yet. Egad, I can't get all my work done, and I've taken a few days off because of a bad sore throat. I think I have malaria...

gftChris Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 So it kinda comes out like mashed potato I guess? Or does it still have some bite left to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Bite? I haven't tried this squash, planted different types of squash, but they got flooded and weeded out at the bottom of the garden. It surely is similar to acorn. I wanted to try the turban, golden and blue hubbard, and a few others. Next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 By bite, I mean some resistance when you bite down on it - think of the different stages of boiled potatoes. Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Ah, density ? That's a tough question - depends on the squash I suppose, and how much you cook it. good luck with it. you could also try honey in place of the brown sugar, I suggest a good wildflower raw organic honey. Filtered is good, just organic. The taste of that honey will have most folks stopping buying that stuff in stores that has been pasteurized, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 not so much density, more like resistance - like pasta, I guess. Cook it al dente, or cook the crap out of it so it's all floppy. Harlequin squash wedges tomorrow to go with roast chicken. Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
